Chapter Seventy-Four: Recruiting the Exiles
"If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother asking?" The man opened his eyes, glanced at Ye Ziyi impatiently, raised his neck, and prepared to die.
"You, you're quite tough when you die, it's easy for you to kill people?" "The sword is too heavy, I can't hold it, you can die by yourself. ”
When the sword fell to the ground, the man opened his eyes, didn't look at Ye Ziyi, and reached out to take the sword.
"Brother Chu!
"Brother Chu!"
Seeing this, the three young men hurriedly pounced, and the three of them pressed the sword to the ground together, and cried with the man's horn.
One of the younger ones turned around and crawled in front of Ye Ziyi, and kowtowed to the ground with tears in his eyes. "Noble Mingjian, we are not bandits, but the weak city is in a big drought, the neighbors fled here, sick and hungry in winter, and we have to make this decision, this is the first time to do such a thing, please raise your noble hand and let my eldest brother live!"
"It's not that I want to kill him, it's he who asked me to kill him, did I say I want his life?" Ye Ziyi clasped his hands to his chest and glanced at the homeless people who ran not far away. "Where are all your people?"
"Nobleman...... Don't blame me?" The young man's brain was still good, and he understood the meaning of Ye Ziyi's words, his face was happy, and he quickly kowtowed. "Thank you, thank you!"
"Are you really good citizens?" Ye Ziyi looked down at the young man, and saw that he was indeed skinny, and the look in his eyes was not fierce, so he couldn't help but say. "The weak city is not close, why did you come to the boundary of Fengcheng?"
"I waited for half a year, several cities were closed, knowing that the son became benevolent and virtuous, and Fengcheng was rich, so we villagers thought about coming to Fengcheng to survive. ”
Ye Ziyi carefully observed the four of them again, and squatted in front of the young man. "How many of you are there?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his head and said. "Twenty-nine were young and strong, and twelve were women and children. ”
"I see. Ye Ziyi nodded, beckoned the three people to come to him, and looked at the eyes of the four with a solemn face. "I'm short of manpower right now, do you want to come with me and work for me?"
"Is this true?"
Seeing Ye Ziyi nodding, the three young men were all overjoyed when they saw this, they glanced at each other, and they all focused their eyes on the man.
The man looked at Ye Ziyi for a long time, covered his arms and said. "Nobleman, do you want to recruit me?"
"Recruitment?" Ye Ziyi sneered. "You can't even beat my guards, so what's in it for me to recruit you?"
"This ......" The man was originally vigilant, but when he heard Ye Ziyi say this, there was a trace of shame on his face.
"In this way, a few of you will go to Fengcheng with me first, if you are really useful, you may be able to find a way out, and you can also have a place to settle with your fellow villagers. Ye Ziyi said, stood up, glanced at the man and said. "You owe me your life, but remember. ”
"I will not dare to forget. The man sat on the ground and bowed slightly, staring at Ye Ziyi for a while with bloodshot eyes, and said to the thin black young man who was supporting him beside him. "Ah Si, you go back and tell Lian Suo them, let's go to Fengcheng to explore the way first, and let them take everyone to rush there. ”
The young man named Ah Si nodded yes, got up and bowed to Ye Ziyi, turned around and ran.
The man who injured his arm was not hypocritical, got up and said hello, called the six people who were kneeling not far away, and several people worked together to straighten the carriage, and filled in the shallow ditch on the ground, and took the initiative to follow behind Ye Zi's carriage.
After re-checking the car, he stepped forward and pulled the man's arm and reconnected it, and without much talk, the whole team was on the road again.
Seeing that the man's eyebrows were not wrinkled, Ye Ziyi nodded secretly, and ignored these people, sat in the carriage and took out the handwritten book that Yong left her, and studied it carefully.
The handbook is written with several major events that have occurred in the four countries of Liang Qi, Wei and Chen in the past month or so, including the fact that the heavenly stone is present in Qidi, the heavenly stone is unearthed in Baijun Mountain in Fengcheng seven days ago, and the stone is engraved with the words "king in the world", which has caused a lot of shock in Fengcheng.
Ye Ziyi held the silk book tightly, looked at the contents on it repeatedly, and her heart hung again.
"Reigning in the world", she naturally knows how heavy these four words are, and she also knows that the witch Gu chaos that Gongzi laid before Cheng will become a blade in the hands of others because of this stone.
This stone was unearthed at this time, it seems that someone has already laid out the bureau, and now it is to wait for the prince to enter Qi to offer the stone, and he will be charged with disrespect through this matter.
She didn't believe that this was a divine revelation, she only knew that she had to help Gongzicheng minimize the impact of this matter, and do her best to involve this matter in other matters.
But what do you do to get a nickname?
Ye Ziyi closed her eyes and thought for a long time, until a fine sweat appeared on her forehead, she took out a small bag from the corner with a white face and picked up the curtain. "Flick the right brother, and stop. ”
The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, and when he saw Ye Ziyi coming out of the car, he couldn't help frowning. "Ah Ye, why is your face so bad?
"Nothing, just a bit of a headache. Ye Ziyi smiled at the right flicker, slowly got out of the car with the wheel, and walked towards the ten people who followed the car.
"Hey, boss, what is this Lady Jing going to do, what's the use of recruiting these homeless people?" The young guard who was following Fu You's side couldn't help but scratch his head when he saw that Ye Ziyi was talking vigorously to those homeless people.
"This lady, not an ordinary woman, she is sincere to her son, but it's a pity that ......" Fu You sighed, did not say anything pity, only said to the young guard. "Be cautious when you go back to Fengcheng this time, don't be careless and cause trouble to your son. ”
"Boss, where did I cause trouble for my son? As soon as the young guard spoke, he was hit on the back of the head by a chestnut from the right side.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb!" Fu You glared at him angrily, and was about to reprimand again, but saw Ye Ziyi dismiss the ten people, and walked back tiredly.
"How did you let them go?" Fu Right stepped forward to support Ye Ziyi, who was floating in her footsteps, and saw that her face was really ugly, and she couldn't help but say. "What's the matter? But are you sick?"
"It's okay, I thought too much just now, I'm a little dizzy, how long will it take to get to Fengcheng?" Ye Ziyi smiled with a white face, leaned on the wheel, and only felt a burst of blackness in front of him.
"Come on, walk for another hour, and you will be able to arrive in time for Shen. ”
"Okay, I'll go to sleep first, and you'll call me when I'm about to enter the city, okay? I want to see what Fengcheng is like." Ye Ziyi reluctantly smiled at the right side, climbed into the carriage with some difficulty, got into the carriage and fell on the mat.
Fu You frowned and looked at the corner of the black robe under the shaking curtain, and said to the coachman. "Let's go, stay steady. ”
"Yes. ”
The coachman answered, and drove his horses slowly down the avenue.
Straight to the glow of the sky, Ye Ziyi's carriage arrived at the outskirts of Fengcheng, in the glow and cold wind, five horses ran out of the woodland on the side of the road, and ran straight to Ye Ziyi's car, the man in black who was the leader flew off the horse, and jumped into the carriage in three or two steps.
With his right eye, he watched the person get into the car, and glanced at the four accompanying guards opposite. "Childe came to greet us?"
"Childe has been waiting for almost an hour, boss, if you don't come again, I'm afraid we will go to Danxia Mountain to pick you up. The guard who led the boy into a horse shook his head with a wry smile and sighed. "I heard people say that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, I didn't believe it, but now I really believe it. ”
Everyone shook their heads and laughed, completely ignoring the boy in the car.
Ye Ziyi was sleeping groggily, and the sudden coldness made her frown, until she felt a burst of comfortable warmth wrapping herself, and she settled down, breathing flat and falling asleep again.
Gongzi Cheng sat cross-legged on the car mat with Ye Ziyi in his arms, gently brushed her broken hair stained with thin sweat sticking to her face, and branded a kiss on her forehead.
After hastily arranging the matter at hand, he came out to wait for her, I don't know why, when he saw her, all the anxieties and troubles in his heart seemed to disappear, as long as she was still by his side, as long as she was okay, his heart was settled.
This feeling is very wonderful, Gongzi Cheng naturally knows that he shouldn't have it, and he shouldn't attach so much importance to Ye Ziyi, but he just can't control it, and his heart can't be controlled by himself.
Holding Ye Ziyi tightly in his arms, Gongzi Cheng held her head close to his neck socket, sighed helplessly, closed his eyes and felt her smooth cheeks touch the neck socket, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
The carriage slowly marched towards Fengcheng, several guards outside the car were talking happily, and a pair of mandarin ducks sat cross-necked in the car, which was tranquil.
Seeing that the city wall of Fengcheng was already in sight, he saw two horses galloping in the distance, and the two horses were running fast, almost crazy, rampage all the way, causing the people on the horses to scream again and again, and rushed straight towards Gongzicheng's carriage.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses rushed to the front of the car, and the guards were busy stepping forward to stop them, and for a while the people were neighing and the chaos became a mess.
Ye Ziyi in the car was sleeping soundly, and when she heard the noise, she couldn't help but twist her eyebrows and open her eyes listlessly.
Squinting and breathing in the aroma of grass on the tip of her nose, Ye Ziyi curled the corners of her mouth, she put her arms around Gongzicheng's neck and muttered. "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, go to sleep. Gongzicheng's chin rubbed Ye Ziyi's smooth hair, and his voice was rare and gentle.
"Hmm. Ye Ziyi hummed softly, kissed him on the neck with satisfaction, and whispered. "Ah Cheng, did you take advantage of my absence to hook up with which Jiaojiao?"
Gongzi Cheng's face turned cold when he heard this, and the red glow that had just floated on his neck faded clean. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"The delicate voice outside is so sweet, people have sent it to the door, don't you want to take a look?" Ye Ziyi closed her eyes, although her tone was lazy and relaxed, the sourness in her words was full of sourness.
